Let me start part 3 with Ľudmila on a personal note: I utterly completely don't understand why there is no classic black beret in my wardrobe. I need to change that, asap! In Ľudmila's wardrobe I saw a few in other colours as well. As you can see, here (and overall) she is influenced by the 80's, there's a little Working Girl meets cabaret vibe in it :-) She fell in love with the dress and stripped it down from the mannequin in the shop window, and bought it without trying on. The coat is about 4 sizes bigger, but has a nice leather lining and wide shoulders, so mostly she wears it with a belt, pinned at the back.
I asked Ľudmila for her shopping strategy in second hand shops and it is pretty basic: go for bigger, well sewn and lasting pieces like dresses, coats, jackets, as well as quality materials like leather, fur, silk or pure wool. She doesn't buy trousers simply because they are too worn in by their previous owners. She also says it is worth waiting for pieces to go on sale, but if you really love something, just go get it :-)
